Watch for this false talking point, which manages to slander at once J. Cardozo, the President, and any Hispanic that the President may choose to appoint.
Benjamin Cardozo was a celebrated legal scholar and jurist, and his family did hail from Portugal, but he was a Sephardic Jew (and proud of it). Numerous Jewish legal scholarships, etc., bear his name, including the Cardozo School of Law at Yeshiva University.
The purpose of asserting Cardozo was "Hispanic," when the identity politicians of the Left don't accept European Spaniards, usually, let alone Portuguese, let alone distinct ethnic minorities who chanced to dwell in Portugal, is to deprive any "first Hispanic justice" of legitimacy as such.
Personally, I believe it's stupid to play identity politics with the court. Anybody that makes judicial rulings based on race, nationality, skin tone or sex ought to be competing for a vacancy on a Sharia court in Iran, because we're supposed to make these calls on facts and law, not on race and emotion.
But since our enemies want to play the identity politics game, it's incumbent on us to flag them when they cheat, as this writer just did.
Dirtbag.

Plus Benjamin Cardozo was also appointed to the Supreme Court by Republican President - Herbert Hoover.
